22 year-old TikTok content creator Andrew Tollinche known online as DGB has been arrested and charged in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old boy during a violent confrontation in the Bronx, according to law enforcement officials.
Authorities say the incident occurred outside a residential building after a dispute linked to online interactions escalated into an in-person altercation involving multiple individuals.
Investigators report that tensions began on social media, where the suspect—an active TikTok creator known for controversial and confrontational content—was allegedly involved in ongoing disputes that drew public attention.
On the day of the incident, a group of teenagers gathered near the building where the creator lived. Police say the situation escalated into a physical confrontation, during which the suspect allegedly went inside, retrieved a knife, and returned outside.
Officials allege that the suspect stabbed a 17-year-old during the chaos. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital but later died from his injuries.
Authorities believe the teenager killed in the incident may not have been directly involved in the original dispute. The investigation is ongoing to determine the exact sequence of events and the roles of those present.
Family members and community members have described the victim as a young student with no known involvement in violence.
The suspect has been taken into custody and is facing multiple charges, including second-degree murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon, according to prosecutors.
Court proceedings are underway, and the suspect has entered a not guilty plea.
The case has drawn widespread attention due to the suspect’s online presence on TikTok, where authorities say confrontational content and online disputes may have contributed to the real-world escalation.
Officials have not confirmed whether additional charges are being considered as the investigation continues.
Law enforcement agencies continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, including how online interactions may have played a role in bringing the individuals together.
The Bronx District Attorney’s Office has stated that the case remains active.
